In the early 1980s, this was known as Brooklyn Coast Guard Air Station. I landed there in a helicopter to drop a passenger. We had flown down the Hudson River for about 100 miles, did a bit of sight seeing around Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the south tip of Manhattan, before getting here. We just landed to drop our pax and immediately took off to the north east, about halfway between JFK and LGA, followed the coast for a while and headed into BDL for fuel before coming back to YOY... I had never seen so many airliners in my life all in the air at the same time as around NYC!
The first time I flew commercial into New York City I saw this underneath us as we were being vectored around. I didn't notice the historical aircraft, but there were plenty of helicopters.
Located in Brooklyn, this was the first municipal airport serving NYC. During World War II, it was Naval Air Station New York. According to Wikipedia, the runways are still usable, and the airport is occasionally reopened for air shows. The NYPD still has a heliport on site, and there is a display of historical aircraft.
